Weak passwords is a well known vulnerability, due to this most of the corp orates are compromised. Lots of people use weak passwords that can be brute forced and plain text can be obtained.
Hashes are generated by single-way mathematical algorithms, that means they can't be reversed. So the only way to crack is to brute force them.
In today's tutorial we will learn how we can break password hashes by brute force using patator from our Kali Linux.
Sometimes, it is possible we have the usernames but we went to try brute forcing the password. Patator is an awesome tool that allows us to brute force several types of logins and even ZIP passwords.
To see all the options we fire up our terminal window and run following command:-
The output of the preceding command shows in following screenshot:
Let's try to brute force an FTP login (We can scan target host using scanning tools like nmap and find open FTP ports).
The screenshot is following:
Now we can set the host, user file and password file and run the module using following command :
The following screenshot shows the output of the preceding command:
If we get the access this will stop running and show us the result.
Not only FTP login patator can brute force in various types of logins:
In this way we can run brute force attack on such many kinds of logins using patator in our Kali Linux system.
